For the third year in succession the Eden Project will be hosting Sleep Out on Thursday, November 10.

The event will see people sleeping outdoors at Eden during a cold autumnal night with nothing but a sleeping bag and a cardboard mat. 

The aim is to raise as much as possible for two homelessness charities - St Petroc’s Society and the Amber Foundation. Last year more than 100 people took part at Eden.

Sleep Out is a nationwide event organised by the End Youth Homelessness (EYH) campaign, a national partnership of grassroots charities and companies that provides support to homeless young people. The national campaign aims to raise more than £500,000 for homelessness charities.

Registration for the event has now opened and 140 spaces are up for grabs at www.edenproject.com/sleepout.

On the night, participants will be joined by comedian, Kernow King, and Cornish singer songwriter, Suzie Mac, who will provide the evening’s entertainment.
